Re: Iminent malware

We are doing, and will do, that. Thanks.

Anyone know anything more about iminent as it relates to ZoneAlarm?

Also, in xyz was not detected. What I should do? it is suggested that "if you encounter new non recognized viruses please send it". Just what is it? We know we have something but what exactly are we to zip up and send in? Sorry, it's not clear to me. Perhaps it will become clearer to us as we go through the cleanup process.

Thanks.

[Aside: For some reason, my clicking on any of the links in this thread, takes me back to the forum's top page, in FF15 and IE8. This worked fine just a few days ago. And in fact most other links in the forum work just fine.]

Re: Iminent malware

Hi!

iminent is not malware nor spyware just adware/toolbar. It should be enough to go to add/remove programs and remove it.
If you think it should be detected then you should write directly to Kaspersky (not here) and ask them to add it (if it is at all applicable).

Ensure that in ZA all riskware categories are ticked (antivirus advance settings). One category is off by default.

Please read all message, its clearly described how to send new viruses:

Finally, if you encounter new non recognized viruses please send it in a password protected zip to newvirus at kaspersky dot com. Subject: virus. Include password in the e-mail. For faster response sign-up to kaspersky viruslab support at: https://my.kaspersky.com/en/support/viruslab and submit the file under the "Send request to Kaspersky Virus Lab" tab.

Re: Iminent

Hi, I have down loaded iminent and now I am in serious trouble! To start with any attempt to get on the internet and it redirects to the start,iminent.com site, but this wont load either as 'unable to connect to proxy server' now comes up? Ive tried removing iminent but it says it has to be connected to the internet to remove it, which it wont let me do of course! Ive tried to disable it, but it just ignores my commands to 'disable' ? Is the 'cant connect to proxy server' message coming up as a defense against iminent or is iminent causing the proxy server message? I have only been getting this message since I foolishly down loaded iminent. This is a nasty programme which may not a virus or malware, but its just as bad! I'm borrowing my wifes laptop to write this. Can any one help. My lap is virtually useless in this condition. I am not an IT pro, so instructions will need to fairly basic. Many thanks in hopeful expectation, regards, Steve (teachair)
